Since 2019, there has been widespread adoption, by UK police agencies, of dash cam (aka ‘journey cam’) enforcement programs. This automated form of enforcement was developed to accommodate ever-increasing submissions of video evidence of dangerous driving offences witnessed by members of the public and leverages the sheer ubiquity of video camera technology.
But does it work? How exactly do these programs engage the public in the enforcement effort, and who stands to gain?
Join Acting Inspector Christopher Hayes (Victoria Police) and Leading Senior Constable Andrew McKellar (Australian Federal Police) to learn more about the UK’s “Op SNAP” initiative and how it has been implemented in an Australian setting, throughout the ACT.
Acting Inspector Christopher Hayes works within Victoria Police’s Road Policing Command and has recently returned from overseas travel as a Winston Churchill Fellowship recipient, investigating alternative enforcement methods on high-speed roads.
Leading Senior Constable Andrew McKellar works within the Traffic Section of the AFP’s ACT Policing portfolio and was instrumental in the implementation of automated dashcam enforcement in the ACT, and its integration into the online reporting portal.
